To say that the Prince is having a rough transition into kindergarten is putting it mildly. This past week I have been spoken to by his teacher every day after school. I am mortified at some of the things she has told me.
I won't go into them here, so as not to embarrass the hell out of him when he is older. Let's just say that if he did those things when he was at home I would put him up for adoption. Kidding, kidding. I am just so frustrated because he knows. He knows he is supposed to follow the rules and be polite. He knows how to act while at school. If you ask him the classroom rules, he can recite them back to you and tell you what they mean. The boy knows.
The scary thing is that he could care less when we punish him. There is no punishment that we have dealt out so far that has really gotten to him. We don't spank, so that's out. We just don't believe in it. But we have taken away TV time, computer time, Wii games, toys, sweets, and...nothing. Nothing is working. I'm at a loss.
I'm also open to suggestions.

What about not really punishing him but rewarding him for good behavior? I'm not above bribing my kids and TB and I worked out a deal that for week he brings home a good Friday report, where he gets all smiley faces AND completes all his classwork, I will buy him a package of Pokemon cards for his collection. Simple and fairly cheap with each booster costing about $4.
We'll see how well the bribe works :)
I have no suggestions since we're not at that point yet, but now that I've met him, I have to say the Prince is a super fab little boy! He's so friendly and outgoing...I can't imagine him having problems at school.
Lots of luck!
